Otherwise he would wake up and want to play! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/motn-feedings-keep-swaddled-or-unswaddled#post-2004098 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 12:12:43 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2004098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep her swaddled. Once she's unswaddled, she's awake and it takes too long to put her back to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/motn-feedings-keep-swaddled-or-unswaddled#post-2004070 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 12:01:10 +0000 Meridian 2004070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: He's 11 weeks/6 weeks adjusted. He's been eating less overall, so I'm keeping tabs on it per my pediatrician's instructions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/motn-feedings-keep-swaddled-or-unswaddled#post-2003950 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 11:17:55 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2003950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Keep that baby swaddled! As soon as arms start flailing all is lost in our house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/motn-feedings-keep-swaddled-or-unswaddled#post-2003943 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 11:15:55 +0000 Cole 2003943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have needed to unswaddle because I can't get her to eat enough while swaddled and then she wakes up an hour later for more (and she gulps it down so she is pretty clearly hungry.) If there isn't a difference in his wakeups though I would leave him swaddled. The one thing I am hoping though is that since sometimes I don't bother reswaddling her that maybe I can use it as a tool for swaddle weaning when the time comes- swaddle her at bedtime and then leave it off once she wakes up for her first feeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/motn-feedings-keep-swaddled-or-unswaddled#post-2003941 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 11:15:19 +0000 Dandelion 2003941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old? I say it's fine to keep swaddled. As long as your LO is gaining and past birth weight, there shouldn't be much concern. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/motn-feedings-keep-swaddled-or-unswaddled#post-2003932 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 11:09:45 +0000 Meridian 2003932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you keep your LO swaddled for MOTN feeds?</p> <p>Up until 2 - 3 weeks ago, we always changed his diaper and unswaddled LO for his MOTN feedings. But then recently, we've stopped changing pee diapers, and I've been keeping him swaddled. I think this keeps him drowsier...however, he also eats less! I can't get him to take a full feed (3 oz-ish), and he'll only take an ounce or so before nodding off to sleep. Not sure if this means he doesn't actually NEED the feeding at that hour? This is for his 4/5AM feed... </p>
